The Battle of Boroughbridge

Highlight • Historical Site

This board marks the site of the medieval ford where Thomas of Lancaster attempted to break through the Royalist line with a mounted charge. It stands beside the modern road just before the footpath that leads down to the south bank of the Ure — exactly where the ford once lay.

Millennium Seat, Great Ouseburn

Highlight • Monument

The stone at Green Hill in Great Ouseburn is a natural boulder that was raised onto a stone base in 2000 to form the Millennium Seat. Known locally as the Millennium Stone, the boulder has been a fixture on the green for many years and was previously partially buried in the ground. The supporting structure features an engraved inscription from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: "I have more care to stay than will to go".

Boroughbridge High Street

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Boroughbridge has a bustling high street with plenty of cafes and a bakery for refuelling and recharging.

Boroughbridge is halfway between London and Edinburgh so was historically an important stopover for stage coaches. In 1754 the journey was 10 days in summer and 12 in the winter so an arduous journey. No doubt the hospitality of Boroughbridge (then Burrow Bridge) was very welcome indeed.
